Twenty Slivers
The words stick, even stillAnd I'm afraid they always willThe words stick, even stillSour tar beneath my nailsIn the cracksI thought I got you all outYour gravity coming downQuiet prison even nowI thought I got you all outEven with new skin and a different lieYou get under, you get inAnd every bulletI dodged in the blink of your eyeTwenty slivers on my skinEven now you made it inEven now you made it inA thousand miles from me nowFrom your piercing glancesEven stillI can feel your eyes somehowAnd every word was paper thinEvery hill into a mountainI thought I got you all outLetras de cancionesEven with new skin and a different lieYou get under, you get inAnd every bullet that came within an inch of a lifeWas it the flame you tried to killYour words haunt me even stillI'm afraid they always willThe words stick, even stillAnd I'm afraid they always will
